This lecture covers the fundamental concepts of electrokinetic phenomena, focusing on the motion of colloidal particles under the influence of electric fields. Topics include electro-osmosis, sedimentation potential, and the diffuse double layer model by Gouy and Chapman. The Stern model, which combines static and diffuse layers, is also discussed, emphasizing the importance of understanding flow dynamics in chemical separations.
